FAQs
What sets your “Time-Honored Craftsmanship Roofing – Roofing Done Right” service apart from other roofers in Sequatchie?
Our crew combines three generations of local roofing knowledge with modern installation techniques. We hand-select premium shingles, metal panels, and underlayment rated for Sequatchie’s high summer humidity and occasional winter ice. Every roof is hand-nailed to manufacturer specifications, flashed with 26-gauge galvanized steel, and inspected twice—once by the site supervisor and once by our owner—before the final walkthrough. This meticulous, old-school approach greatly reduces leaks, blow-offs, and premature aging compared to speed-focused contractors.
Which roofing materials do you specialize in and how do I know which is right for my home?
We regularly install architectural asphalt shingles, standing-seam steel, 5V galvanized metal, and synthetic slate. During your free consultation, we measure your roof, check attic ventilation, and discuss goals such as storm resistance, energy efficiency, and appearance. Asphalt shingles are budget-friendly and come with 30- to 50-year warranties. Standing-seam steel lasts 50+ years and reflects heat—excellent for Sequatchie’s hot summers. 5V galvanized metal offers a traditional farmstead look at a mid-range price. Synthetic slate gives the elegance of real slate at one-third the weight. We provide side-by-side cost, lifespan, and maintenance comparisons so you can make an informed choice.
How long will my roofing project take from start to finish?
A standard 2,000-square-foot shingle tear-off and replacement typically takes one to two full working days. Metal roofing of the same size adds about a day because panels are custom-cut on site. Lead times average one to two weeks after contract signing to allow for material orders and any needed permits from Sequatchie County. Weather can extend timelines, but we monitor forecasts closely and keep you updated daily so there are no surprises.
Do you offer any warranties or workmanship guarantees?
Yes. All manufacturer warranties are registered in your name: 30- to 50-year limited lifetime coverage on shingles, and 40- to 45-year paint finish warranties on metal panels. On top of that, we provide a 10-year transferable workmanship warranty that covers labor, flashing, and ventilation components. If a leak occurs due to our installation within that period, we fix it at no cost—materials and labor included. Annual roof health inspections during the warranty term are also free.
How can I tell if I need a roof repair or a full replacement?
Signs you may need only a repair include isolated missing shingles, minor flashing separation, or a single leak spot caught early. Replacement is usually recommended when your roof is 20+ years old, you see widespread granule loss, curling shingles, excessive moss, multiple interior water stains, or daylight showing in the attic. Our inspector uses drones and attic moisture meters to document all findings. We then issue a written report with photos, outlining repair vs. replacement costs so you can decide with confidence.
Are you licensed, insured, and truly local to Sequatchie?
Absolutely. We carry a Tennessee Specialty Contractor Roofing License, $2 million in general liability insurance, and full workers’ compensation on every crew member. Our shop and sheet-metal brake are located right here in Sequatchie County, meaning faster response times for emergency calls and warranty work. Supporting local craftsmen keeps your dollars in the community and ensures we’ll be here long after the storm-chasers move on.
